The Social Responsibility of Business

Social responsibility refers to the idea that companies and corporations should contribute wealth or resources solely dedicated to the improvement of society as a whole.

Communities are a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.

Environment is the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; surroundings.

Stakeholders are a person or group that has an investment, share, or interest in something, as a business or industry.

Closure: I think a business incorporates social responsibility into their business plan because their customers at any time can say that they put their profit before the people and destroy the earth making their products. It can make them go out of business if it goes far enough.  When they take into account that they have responsibility to society they can be smart about how they manufacture their products. Since they do somewhat destroy the environment, giving back is the least they can do. Whether it's charity, the employees working conditions, helping the environment, etc.

The Social Responsibility of Dunkin' Brands
 Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins Franchises across the country have a foundation to serve the basic need of their communities through food for the hungry, safety and children’s health.




The Business Ethic Case
Chantale should tell a higher authority that would take the matter more seriously.
I think that when the company you're employed at is potentially harming the community, that's the limit that's hit when it comes to loyalty.
Yes, I think it would make a difference if Chantale was in a position of high authority, she feels strongly that's it's wrong and also knows it's illegal. I'm sure she would do her best to stop it.
It would also make a difference if she had scientific expertise because when she talked to the company's operation manager she said it's barely harming anyone, if she had the knowledge behind it she could defend her point on why it's a serious problem.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wrigh was an American architect who designed more than 1,000 structures and comleted 500 works.
He followed something he called organic architecture which meant he believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and the environment.
His design "Fallingwater" has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".
He designed many of the interior elements of his buildings like furniture and stained glass.





An architect works by planning and designing buildings. People who would work for them would probably be a receptionists, an accountant, a boss, someone to run their errands, construction people and other people I can't think of off the top of my head.

Ben's Bell

A women named Jeannette and her family lost their 3 year old son/brother named Ben in 2002. He was only 3. They were devestated and just wanted to die. The kindness of other people such as family, friends, or even people they didn't know helped heal them. Whether it was just flashing a smile, opening the door for her, or just a simple hello or good morning helped her heal. So they started an orginization called Ben's Bells in memory of their son and also to reassure people that the act of kindness is very powerful. They hang bells in random places for people to find with a note attatched that tells them to take the bell home and to pass on the kindness. Also working with the UofA program step up, they hand out hand-made clay bracelets that say step up and be kind. They're goal is to spread around the message of kindness and hope that everyone get's it.
